president obama has held about 301st term fund-raisers. the previous record before that was george w. bush who had held about half of that amount. he broke bill clinton's defense record and he broke george h. w. bush's records and so on. so it's important to note that it is a multi president story. president obama's critics have been quick to jump on him for devoting so much time to fund raising, and he absolutely has broken records. but there is a very understandable reason why. what we have seen in the presidential fund-raising is an unintentional consequence of the rules of our political system that we have campaign finance rules designed to reduce corruption or the appearance of corruption, and to do that we limit the amount of money that presidents and candidates can raise from any individual or from any group. so the idea that you can't buy any election if you only give $2,500 to a candidate per election cycle but when you combine those relatively low campaign rather contribution limits within the rapidly escalating cost of campaigns
